Gastric linitis is a very specific form of gastric adenocarcinoma. Its diagnosis is based on morphological arguments of an infiltrating tumour in the stomach with an histology: characteristic stroma reaction of the tissue is especially apparent in the submucosa, although it can also be noted in the muscle layer and subserosa. In most typical cases, the cells appear in a signet-ring form. Cutaneous metastases from gastric cancer are very rare. The incidence of cutaneous metastases of the upper digestive tract carcinomas and of all gastric cancer is respectively less than 1% and 0.8%. We report the case of gastric linitis with Cutaneous metastases. This metastatic site is often associated with advanced tumor stage and worse prognosis.
